Hi jfk
Sorry I should have made it clear, I was writing and saving the file from Blitz. Incidentally I'm using Milkshape 1.8 with the new vertex weighting (drop a note to Mete to update the b3d plugin and ascii format :) ).
In windows explorer the file is visible, has no unusual properties and will open in Notepad. If, in the same Blitz3d program I write the text file in, I closefile and openfile, filetype comes up as 0 but I can get the size of the file ????. Milkshape (version 1.7.5 through to 1.8) will refuse to accept ('Error Importing Milkshape ASCII File' type error) the text file until it has been opened and saved in Notepad.
ASCII files saved from Milkshape have no problems being opened, have run them and mine through text and binary file compare utilities - zip, none, nada differences!! Possibly something with the way Blitz opens writes and closes text files???????
Cheers
